A/n: We need to find him before it's too late...but when they find him...

Metallic Heart 14

Avenge the Fallen

Many people believed Tony Stark not to have a heart. Slowly, he himself began to believe it when he found himself pushing away the other Avengers...just as his father did to him. But is there one man out there that can change his mind? FrosIron.

No...Power...left...

Loki felt a fear course through him as he tried to find where Tony was. He was having a really hard time trying to find the male as he searched for him. He was almost frantic as he searched for the male. He had heard from Thor that he could be really really hurt, and that scared him a lot. He couldn't lose the male, it was so un-characteristic of him but he just didn't know. "Thor..." He spoke, voice hoarse as he did so. The other looked at him, sensing that Loki was in distress. "I can't...find him..." He looked at his brother with almost pleading eyes.

Thor frowned and thought for a moment then looked at Loki. "The ocean."

I can't feel my body, I feel like I can't breathe, my heart hurts, and nothing seems real. I feel as if I am floating, something passing me by. I don't know what is going on at all right now. I hate it...and I miss him so much as well...Loki...are you out there somewhere? Are the Avengers looking for me? I can't feel...my mind anymore...it hurts so much...

The ocean, the stupid cold ocean. Loki was staring right at it, wishing he knew where in the blue depths Stark was. He was so worried about it, where the other could be. If he was alive, he wondered what as well, not knowing for sure if Tony was alive still. "I shall search." He said to his brother and nodded a little. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He searched in the icy depths for his lover. Slowly, he came upon something that was red, and his eyes locked onto it. Tony, he had found him. He took the gear he had been told will help him breath as he stayed locked onto him. He then transported into the water and grabbed a hold of the metal man. He frowned and then pulled him close as he tried to figure out where he was to go next. He had to get him out of the water. He focused back to the land where his brother was and transported them there.

"Loki," Thor spoke and helped him stand, removing the breathing equipment and looking at Tony, "is he..." He trailed off and frowned. Loki shook his head, he didn't know. They quickly removed the armor and looked at the smaller man. His eyes were closed, but there was a little flicker of light in the arc reactor. Loki breathed a sigh of relief as Thor walked off to get someone to help, quickly.

Loki pulled Tony close and took a shaky breath. "Come on, you can't die on me now...not now...you have to live..."

Tony woke up in a hospital with machines attached to him in all different locations. He wondered what had happened to him before he remembered. Damn it, he had almost died then. Who had saved him though? He struggled to sit up, and then took a deep breath. He had something connected to his arc reactor that now he assumed was powering it. He shook his head, and looked around the room. He then spotted someone, and his breath caught in his throat. Loki was sitting at the end of the bed, sleeping now from the looks of it. He sighed and frowned. "Loki…"

The god's eyes opened and he looked at the other. His eyes lit up before Tony was hugged a little tightly by the god. "You don't know how much you scared me…" He muttered before kissing the other. Tony kissed back and then groaned as Loki accidently hit the thing that was attached to his arc reactor. Loki moved away instantly and frowned. "I'm sorry…"

"Ah no it's alright Loki…" Tony murmured softly and ran a hand through the god's hair. "You didn't mean to…but now if I could ask, um…why am I here and not swimming in the ocean?"

"I saved you barely." Loki sighed softly and nuzzled the other's neck. "I managed to get you out before you completely…left this world." His voice cracked as he said that and the room became cooler as he got on nerves. "Thor managed to find someone that helped us then get you here so that you would live…you don't know how worried I was."

"Sorry Loki…" Tony sighed and shook his head a little bit. "I didn't mean for it to happen…though now I know that someone is after me, and is willing to pay people to get me killed…" He frowned and shook his head again. "Did the others catch the person that did it by any chance?"

"No, they almost did but he got away. I swear though, he comes near you again, and I will kill him…and it won't be a quick and simple death. It will be slow and painful." Loki growled and crossed his arms. Tony sweat-dropped, well now he knew he had a god that would kill anyone near him as a boyfriend...well lover.

"I am well aware of that..." Tony leaned over and kissed him softly. "And I'm fine with that as long as it's not a friend or something." He murmured and then Loki kissed back, falling onto him lightly.

"I won't kill anyone you don't want me too."

Loki glanced back at the hospital behind him before taking a deep breath. "Sorry Stark…I have to do this. I can't let him come back to harm you. Odd…I am avenging you, not the other way around…but I can't forgive the one who hurt you…I'll come back at some point and then we don't have to worry about anything anymore. We can be together, he happy…I think that is what matters here. Wait for me."

A/n: Actually, sorry to those who had read this before hand but I have decided something. I will be leaving this story off here. I decided that the theme has finally ended. But I will be making a sequel for you all to read for this. The tittle for it will be:

Fifteen Years Return

The summary is the following:

Sequel To Metallic Heart. It took ten years for him to come back, and by then, everything had changed. He was no longer the lover to the one he still felt and longed for. His lover had gone away, and had married someone else after ten years of waiting. He had a child, two actually, and his old lover couldn't be happier for him... Yet, he was still the one in pain... Can he change things to go back to how they were?

Well...that is the idea. Tell me what you think. I need to work on my X-Men Story "Always There For You" but I will get this up soon.
